I'm planning to write a program that generates sestina poems!

Completed a first version, which you can find here!

The current version uses tracery to generate each line in the poem, and each line is structured as "The [person defined by their job] [verb] a [object]." Because of the poem structure, this meant each poem featured stories about how different types of people used six specific objects. I call these "absurdist unity" poems because it's showing unity among different types of people this way.

I'd like to continue working on this to create different types of line structures. I'm hoping that I can use tracery in a more advanced way to have some variety.
